Any Respect I Had for Ed Koch

"Koch explained to The Algemeiner why he decided to back the
President’s re-election even though he says he suspected that Obama
would backtrack on his pro-Israel overtures. “I did what I thought was
warranted and intelligent,” he said, “He was going to win! There was no
question about it. I thought it would be helpful to have a Jewish voice
there, being able to communicate.”

"The Mayor says he has no regrets, “it’s wouldn’t make any difference.
The Jews were going to vote for him no matter what. And that’s the
nature of the Jews. They are always very solicitous of everybody else
except there own needs and community.”
